Congratulations to the U.S. Olympic women’s softball team . . . I guess.

Twelve-inch fast-pitch softball is the dumbest of all games. Isn’t it obvious that the pitcher is too close to the batters? Result: Very few hits and no runs.

Chicagoans should push for 16-inch softball as an Olympic sport. Played the Chicago way, it’s an exciting game. No gloves, of course.
